I'm just going to copy the chat I sent earlier into this request. TL;DR--Putting Jewish holidays is the Holidays sheet is awesome, but not super useful for helping kids see their week, because most holidays are multiple days. We'd love a Jewish Holidays sheet.
Hi there, I just got Kids' Visual Schedules for my children, and we're all super excited to use it. I did want to share some feedback/a request on one of the sticker sheets, though. I'm so glad you included a holidays sticker sheet, but the Jewish holidays really aren't very usable. Before I explain why, I just want to say how grateful I am that you made a serious effort to include Jewish holidays, and not just Chanukkah.
Almost all of the holidays are multiple days (Rosh Hashana is two days, Sukkot is 7, and Passover is 8), so only having one sticker doesn't help our kids see when the holidays are. It would be really nice to have all the days, like you did for Chanukkah. The Jewish day also goes from Sundown to Sundown, so every holiday extends over two days in the weekly schedule, and it would be great to have stickers for the evening part of the holiday, so there would be, for example, "Erev Rosh Hashanah" and two regular "Rosh Hashanah" stickers.
Also, Shabbat is the most important even in the Jewish calendar, so it would be great to have these in the weekly routines. Even better if there was one for Friday evening and one for Saturday, with space to write in candle lighting times.
I would happily pay for a Jewish Holidays sticker sheet, and I'd be even more thrilled to have had this as an alternative option when we were buying these to begin with.
